Hi All! I was fortunate to be a guest on a great podcast yesterday. Darrin hosts the Commercial Real Estate Pro Network Podcast. We talk about student rentals, apartments and some of the unique differences between US and Canadian investment landscape.

If you have any questions let me know.

Sounds good!

@Jay Hinrichs I agree 100% Jay.  I spoke about this with Brandon and Josh on the show.  I'm amazed when people buy 100s of units where here in Toronto that could be north of $30 million ($200k-300k per unit).  I find the states, for the most part, to be much more entrepreneurial.  The other thing to mention is on the commercial side in Canada a handful of large landlords dominate the market...and are much more conservative (pensions, REITs etc).  

@Larry Smet absolutely when is it?  I'd be happy to join.   I was recently on episode 220...and if you need a speaker I would love to give a deal walk-through

Is this for June 21?

Hi All,

Has anyone completed an investment property transaction in the USA that is a Canadian citizen?  Can you speak a little about the details or things to look out for (withholding tax, tax filing, mortgage process, management etc)?  

My partner and I are looking to purchase another apartment building but the Canadian market is just a little bit to lean for us.

Any info would help! Cheers!

In Toronto (and the GTA&H generally),  I have been the patient observer the past few months.  The good deals are getting harder and harder to find; personally and @ my brokerage shop.

@Tyler Parish hey Tyler thanks!  Not looking to buy SFHs but after selling my condo ($120,000 over asking) in East Toronto, I know exactly what you mean about emotional buyers.

I like Hamilton, and if the deal works I'm very interested.

Unreal :o

 Very informative

Hi Everyone,

Had a really fun experience being on the Bigger Pockets Podcast (link to the YouTube vid below). I thought I would post to take any questions ppl might have. Also, I believe I was the second Canadian to be on the show...so I can take Canadian specific questions if there are any.
